Here it is, Jan 2012, and I am realizing that I didn’t get a single post in 2011. Crazy. High on the resolution list is to do more updates to my blog this year. Once a week maybe. We’ll just have to see. I feel resolved now, but tomorrow will usher in new feelings and more activity and that is just the way things go.
I do have good news to share though. I had my 4 year checkup for kidney cancer this past week and it came back all clear. So I’m good for at least another 10,000 miles or something. ;) In all seriousness, though, it was a harrowing experience going back in for a scan after having not even really thought much about it in 12 months. It seems that the time that passed has only made me more nervous about something showing up or about the cancer rearing its ugly head again. Which, logically, is kind of crazy because every year that goes by actually makes it less likely that anything will reoccur. Well we are not promised tomorrow and this week I got a good reminder of that. Another frustration is that the further away I get from actually going through having cancer the more I revert to “life as normal” which for me means I take things for granted and get caught up in silly things and the busyness of life that makes time go by so quickly. I was reminded this week to slow down. All we have is today so we should be thankful for that and seek to glorify the Lord in all we do.
